Hi Harald,

The extension point can be found in the core: eu.geclipse.core.gridProjectFolder. The fields of this extension point are:

 

id: A unique id

name: The name of this folder

label: The default label that will appear in the project for this folder

elementClass: The type of elements that will be stored by default in this folder (has to extend or to implement IGridElement)

preset: A boolean indicating if this folder should by default be present in a new Grid project

icon: A (small) overlay image that is used to mark the folder as a project folder for a specific type of grid elements

 

Already existing implementations can be found in eu.geclipse.ui for the connection, job description and job folders and in eu.geclipse.workflow.ui for the workflow folder. BTW. Sylva, would it be reasonable to also introduce a folder for visualizations, i.e. for IGridVisualization objects?! I vote +1 for such a folder that may be optional, i.e. preset=false.

 

I will not comment the rest of your mail now since I first have to think about it (you’re the expert for operators ;-) But hopefully the other members of our project have some valuable comments?! Nevertheless I still have a bad feeling about having such “shallow” projects in the sense of a VO. Another solution would possibly be to define a special VO for operators (that may not be bound to a specific middleware) rather than using the Generic VO (which is thought to be only a fall back solution if nothing else fits)?! We could even think about defining a “container VO” that may contain a bunch of other VOs in order to collect functionalities and information across the borders of different middlewares if this would help somehow.

 

Damn, now I did comment the rest of your mail … well, it’s sometimes hard to just shut up ;-)

 

Cheers, Mathias
